Subject: 1928 78 rpm record

The Roycroft label was recorded by Cameo-Pathé; Cameo mx. 3447 dates to 1928-10-26, so mx. 3445 belongs to that same time frame, if not the actual day. Roycroft was the first label in America devoted to what is now called "Early Music," though often represented through modern arrangements of ancient tunes, though this is the genuine article -- a madrigal by Thomas Morley (ca. 1557-1602) from his "Balletts to Five Voyces, Book I" (1595) exactly as it appears in the original setting.
